Lily's POV:
Something had happened.
I was packing my luggage and thinking about which pack to go to after everything. There was a sudden commotion in the courtyard. I looked out the window and saw the Queen hurrying to leave.
What happened? Was there another terrorist attack?
I couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of this possibility. I hurriedly ran downstairs to find out what had happened.
Many people gathered in the courtyard, but most were strangely quiet. The couple in the center was the focus.
The Queen seemed very anxious, her trembling hands even revealing fear. The King Consort was standing beside her and consoling her in a low voice, although his expression was the same as the queen's - anxious and thunderstruck.
No one expressed any opinion about this noble couple. They even showed a kind of understanding and tolerance mixed with pity.
I crept up to Alfred and whispered, "What happened?"
